  • Patent number: 11194690
    Abstract: Various embodiments for management of multipath Input/Output (I/O) in a computing system by a processor device. Upon surpassing a threshold for at least one predetermined criterion associated with near timeouts/near misses in the multipath I/O, a system notification is provided that is usable by the processor device to perform a multipath layer path selection aimed at reducing near timeouts/near misses in the multipath I/O.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 19, 2014
    Date of Patent: December 7, 2021
    Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION

  • Patent number: 10740382
    Abstract: Various embodiments for enhancing accuracy in usability testing, by a processor device, are provided. Sentiment information is collected by a wearable device configured to be worn by a test user while a set of operations of a test case are executed, the test case evaluating usability of a product or service. Upon completion of the set of operations, a quality for the evaluation of the usability is determined using the sentiment information collected from the wearable device corresponding to input received from the executed set of operations.

  • Patent number: 7917837
    Abstract: A blade center is provided with an additional video output system which includes additional video output capabilities to allow a user to point to another blade within the blade center to work locally on a blade that does not include media tray access. The local access is granted via a control (e.g., a button) on the control panel of the blades or a control on the chassis or management module that allows the user to specify which blade to use for the second video output connection to a KVM console or direct host connect. This video output system advantageously allows more than one blade to be interactively utilized in a graphic environment at any time. Other blades executing local applications can be accessed and/or modified while another blade is accessing the media tray for installations and using one of the video output controls.
